It’s a good job thatHideo Kojimais such a talented game developer, because, in an alternative universe, he may not have made such a good delivery driver if his performance while testingDeath Stranding 2is anything to go on.

Over the last few months, Kojima’s personal assistant Ayako Terashima has been regularly posting pictures to social media of the developer seemingly playing a build of Death Stranding 2, often with something in his mouth, andin one instance covered in stickers.

After one rather more innocuous photo posted on December 5,Kojima repliedwith a quote tweet to let us all know that this particular session hadn’t gone especially well, declaring that “I fell asleep twice while on a delivery and ran the vehicle into a cliff. I’m low on sleep”.

It’s perhaps not too surprising that Kojima might be running low on sleep at the moment, as we may soon be seeing a bit more of Death Stranding 2, with Kojima announced to be making his now customary appearance at The Game Awards on December 13, almost two years on from the game’s initial announcement at the show.
